Janus!Servant slips out of the Kitchen door, carrying the plate of food and wine like she's done it for a lifetime. Quickly noting the train leading around the back of the castle, she assumes that's the way the servants have walked before and moves around the back of the keep.
Entering the Tower Janus!Servant finds the entire floor is open and is a dry celebration of the history of Branderscar, nobles and deeds scribed into plaques. One catches her eye - it depicts the conversion Castle Branding into Branderscar prison with the motto "His Judgement Cometh and that Right Soon".
Janus!Servant takes this in quickly as she heads for the spiral staircase leading up.

The next floor is a library, with assorted scholarly tomes on tall bookcases, though she notes a substantial section of rag-eared penny dreadfuls taking up a bookcase. Richter is sat at a small table, flicking through a weighty looking tome.

"Set it on the table girl."

I'm flexible with people if they want do partial rewrite's to change for new shinies available. I was intending opening up re-stat's when Spellbound came out (if we're still running), if anyone wanted to change up a little (I know Tyralias would like to play a Reaper)

I'll activate that error

Reading through this adventure path and the new shiny classes, I think Inquisitor makes an equally good Heretic.

Probably, but it'll be late before I can post tomorrow.

[Signey]

Signey
Vitality 27/27; Wounds 16/16 (20/20); Subdual Damage: 4(Fort Save (1d20+4=22))

Signey shakes away the tiny arrows, they sting, but even as a scholar she's still got a Dwarven constitution.
Dropping the pistols now that they've fired she draws the borrowed shortsword and swings at the swarm.

1st Action: Draw Sword (dropping pistols)
2nd Action: Attack (damage) (1d20+3+2+2=10, 1d8+2=6)

Of course things may have moved before it gets back around to me...

Following up on the servants mention of poisons the aspiring villains check Blackerley's room while the Golem has his makeover.
A thorough search finds a bottle of alcohol scented medicine, which Janus quickly identifies as a sleeping poison, there's also a strongbox:
A quick and cautious check outside the Kitchen door retrieves some leaves and berries from a suspicious looking bush.

Crafting/Alchemy check (1d20+6=26)
Blackerly’s Medicine: Standard Knockout Poison (1 minute, DC12, Unconscious for 1 incubation period).
Plant: Brewable (with the proper craft focus) into any Debilitating, Lethal or Weakening poison worth no more than 50sp.

Also do we need to make saves for the Subdual damage, or did you roll it somewhere and I missed it?

I was just writing a post when you pre-empted me, never mind, you rolled better than I did anyway.

In a pinch you can use d&d stats for NPC's, just need to fiddle with Def and approximate skill eqivilances. I wouldn't recommend it for an entire campaign, but I, ve done it for a one off.

Signey heads to the crates, tucks her dagger back into her boot, grabs the pair of pistols and straps on a sword (if there's time) "Clockwork sprites, delicate, breakable little things but they usually have bows."

If anyone with actual fighting skills wants a pistol feel free.
Initiative (1d20+1=15)
Take cover back in T8 (or R12 if it's taken), assuming there's time before the troll leaves.
If I haven't posted again by the time I need to post actions I'll either shoot or ready an action to shoot any opponents that reveal themselves).

I didn't even stat out the servants, they are certainly no obstacle to kill.

The servants drop to the floor dead, blood flowing freely from their matching opened necks, a look frozen upon their faces that bears more confusion than terror.

Signey heads for the crate before being distracted by sounds of scurrying and kliks, she draws her knife and tries to discern the source of the noise.
